Expand Some pretty interesting comments, some of which have been posted here. the one i find interesting is that Blue mentioned something about "limited quantities". and thats one of two things........typical BM way of people to open up their purse strings and pony up, or, there are in fact limited quantities, like they sold 200 to Bear Creek, and they actually only have 50 to sell, which would make sense for their over the top price on them. They are nice chairs, like nicer than what BB sold, but IMO not $1200 nice. 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted May 16, 2022 Report Posted May 16, 2022 It would be better for Blue to sell 20 chairs at $1200 each than sell 50 at $400 each. Shit our prices are more than some of our competition by sometimes 20-30%.. Quote

Employees probably will want to be paid for doing that. Theres kind of a balance between making some coin on your junk, and having it all disappear with the least amount of effort. Quote

enjoralas Posted May 17, 2022 Report Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Towers coming down? It looks like there's someone(s) on a Burma tower on the cam, and its tough to tell but from the Valley cam there may be towers missing higher up Ah, definitely coming down. Can see the crossmember of the uphill tower on the ground above where they are working. Edited May 17, 2022 by enjoralas Quote
theprogram4 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Posted May 17, 2022 They should leave the weird metal structure up as a memorial to the old double lifts. I’m never figured out what it was, but I’m guessing something to do with the power lines that no longer run above it 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted May 17, 2022 Report Posted May 17, 2022 A lot of kids smoked their first cigs on the Main Street and Burma chairs...RIP. I’ll have to look back in my high school archives when I used an Avocet watch like indiggio has and kept my stats on notebook paper and even made graphs for days of the week skied, days per month skied and all kinds of fun. I think the most rides in a day on the Main Street and Burma lifts I did was 47...that’s when I skied 7:30-5 on weekends and took a lunch break. I’d usually pack a sandwich..put it in a locker and buy chips and a drink from vending machines. If I was feeling speedy my go to was two slices of pizza or two hot dogs, pierogies and Coca Cola..cost a solid $8 for lunch back then unless I ran into a friend who’s mom worked at Blue then we’d get a whole pizza with her 50% discount. 1 1 1 Quote
